Our prediction for this Championship match:
Burnley and Coventry City square off against each other at Turf Moor on day 27 of the 2022/2023 Championship campaign. The Clarets are eager to cement top position in the standings, but boss Vincent Kompany must warn his men against complacency. The former Man City centre-back should have a full squad to choose from. Meanwhile, the Sky Blues made a flying start to the season, but they are on a three-game winless run ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Burnley have been impressive at home ground this season, and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration this weekend. All Callum OHare, Marcel Hillsner, Kyle McFadzean, Tyler Walker, and Matt Godden are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. In the first half of the season Burnley defeated Coventry City thanks to Nathan Tella’s goal.

The 185-cm-tall midfielder, though, was named as a substitute for Spurs in a 1-1 draw with Shakhstar Donetsk in the UEFA cup back in 2009. Butcher played for the likes of Barnet (loan), Hjorring, Hayes & Yeading United, Dundee United and Burton Albion in the past before joining Millwall on August 25, 2016. He made his debut for the Lions two days after signing for the club, coming as a substitute in a 3-1 victory over Chesterfield.
Butcher scored his first goal for Milwall against Northampton on October 15, 2016. It has to be noted that the midfielder scored two goals in 32 appearances for the Lions in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.

Nicknamed the Sky Blues, Coventry City are an English football club that compete in the League One. Coventry City, who were founded on August 13, 1883 as Singers FC, wear sky blue kit when playing on home soil, whilst their away colour is white.
Aston Villa and Leicester City are considered the club’s main rivals, but they have rivalry with fellow West Midlands clubs Wallsall and Burton Albion as well. Coventry City have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the FA Cup in the 1986/1987 season, with the team beat Charlton Athletic in the two-legged final. They share stadium with Birmingham City, with both clubs playing their home games at St. Andrew’s Stadium.
Built in December, 1906, St. Andrew’s Stadium can hold up to 29,409 spectators. Dion Dublin is one of the most famous Coventry City players, with the legendary centre-forward scoring 61 goals in 145 appearances for the club in the league.
